Trundle Desk

Pros: The 15-inch trundle drawer slides forward to nearly double your workspace­. When you’re done working, a gentle shove makes your mess disappear. There’s also a small compartment in the back for stashing cords. It’s made in the USA­—to our surprise, the only domestically produced desk in our roundup (even the Herman Miller piece sported a Made in China sticker).

Cons: We’re not opposed to exposed hardware in principle, but we do wish the inelegant metal drawer gliders were hidden with wooden end caps. Another sticking point: The drawer jams unless you push from the center.
